Robustness of Regionally Derived, Short-Duration Rainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Estimates to the Choice of Minimum Interevent Time: Evidence across Climates, Rain Gauge Densities, and Regionalization Approaches

Abstract The choice of minimum interevent time (MIT)—a criterion used to discern independent events from a continuous rainfall record—can affect the resulting partial duration series (PDS) and depth-duration-frequency values (DDFs). However, the mechanisms by which MIT choice aff...

A framework to compare the performance of spatial disaggregation methods of statistical climate downscaling in South America

Study region Chile and South America. Study focus Climate change is simulated at a coarse scale with General Circulation Models. Impact and regional studies require downscaling to increase spatial resolution. Several downscaling methods exist, but most studies do not analyze or c...
